Why choose Laymans Accounting
- Made only for service businesses. General accounting and billing tools come packed with inventory, stock and manufacturing screens you will never use. Here there are none, so it is quicker to learn and harder to get wrong.
- Real books, not just billing. Many low-cost billing apps stop at invoices. Laymans also gives you purchases, a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet.
- Priced for small businesses. One plan, one price: ₹2,999 a year including GST, about ₹250 a month. Several popular cloud accounting tools cost a multiple of this every year.
